An Introduction to River Cruising
A River Cruise is one of the most culturally enriching and rewarding travel experiences you can have, both experienced and first-time travellers have discovered the joys of river cruising. It offers a greater variety of destinations than you could encounter any other way – and lets you get in-depth exposure to the culture and history of each region.
Throughout time rivers have served as the world’s natural highways, connecting people and cultures, hence so many of the world’s major cities and towns have developed and are situated along riverbanks.
This allows river cruising to offer an unparalleled level of convenience, as you often dock right in the heart of town, walking right off the ship to join the day’s activities. Enjoy the guided walks, in-depth tours and excursions planned for you in each destination – or sightsee on your own, with time allocated for independent activities.
You spend less time getting there – and more time being there. You’ll never wait in long queues to get on or off the ship you’ll never tender to port and you’ll never experience rough water or motion sickness – only smooth and peaceful sailing throughout your journey.
What to expect:
Small, intimate ships - All river view cabins - Convenience of docking in the heart of town - Hassle-free travel - Ever changing scenery - Relaxed and informal - No motion sickness!
Whats Included:
Flights or rail travel as applicable and transfers - All meals on board - Beer, wine and soft drinks at dinner - Shore excursions - Entertainment and lectures.
